sure. adobe do not make a ppc flash plugin so you will need to use ONE of the below (if you want to try a different plugin you must remove the current one first or you will get issues)

- gnash
- swfdeck player
- lightspark

these will run on powerpc cpus. Alternatively, install chromium browser and use the http5 YouTube, you won't even need a plug in then

I also recommend minitube, which is a high-performance solution for viewing Youtube video's:
